They just made a movie about Elvis to be released in June 2022,,, Someone needs to make a great movie about Jackie!! What a talent I believe if/ when the youth start listening to much of the old music they will be in for a treat!! I want to hear truth!! I hope Elvis movie is full of it!!! One example is Elvis was not a racist, Elvis and Jackie were friends, Elvis helped Jackie and paid his medical bills after Jackie’s heart attack!! Bring the truth!! Jackie was so under rated!! Soar and sing/ dance with the angels Jackie/ Elvis!!! 💕
An electrifying performance. He had an immense vocal range, incredible dance moves & of course lots of soul. He poured his heart out to keep his audience thrilled. There will never be another Jackie Wilson.
What a gifted man and this wasn’t even in the height of his career..... RIP. I could envision him doing gospel in his later years had he lived...still doing the splits and all!🥂💖🎼🎼💖💖🥂
To me he was probably the most electrifying performer that ever lived he really was on a different level vocally and his stage movement is so intuitive the things he could do with does legs defy gravity.
@@mariogmajner6549 He was a soul r&b artist didn't even record elvis songs he didn't have too had his own big hits although i understand they were good friends.
Absolutely that was what made him so great vocally he was a powerhouse yet so smooth and relaxed such an enjoyable way about him and light on his feet such a thrill to watch!
this is from a 1972 pbs show.elvis fans prefer elvis and jackie wilson fans prefer jackie. the truth is elvis wanted to be jackie and jackie wanred to be elvis. so if they respected each other we should too. in retrospect we can credit them both for being amazing showmen and unlike todays artists they weren,t choreographed and didn't lipsynch. amazing.
He was absolutely fantastic! His voice, his rhythm, his charisma!! I love watching this!! Another fabulous entertainer taken away from us way to soon!You surely are missed!Love ya too! R.I.P.
If u notice jacke never needed any crossroads, or anything to sing it was God given talent and he wasn't shy singing about God in his songs, and he lived a lot longer than his buddy Sam Cooke, Otis Redding. Jackie was blessed he enjoyed his life and singing and entertainment he was the best at! Like Sammy or Elvis! Or James Brown God bless u Jackie.as u blessed the audience, my favorite singer!
Simply astounding. This was the swan song of an amazing talent..like his soul knew he didn't have much more time. I've been a fan of his for a while now, but had never seen this clip. I was watching this and enjoying along but when he got on his knees and took it to church, man just major chills up and down the spine. Modern singers couldn't carry this man's shoes.
Man I watch this video over and over and the joy I feel coming out of Jackie Wilson's performance just makes my heart happy!!! Only the singers of the past can do this to me. The best music died along with entertainers like Jackie.
That must have been a real treat!! to have the late Etta James and Jackie Wilson on the same bill and she was the opening act what a show that must have been !!! bet u will never forget it
I saw him perform live once in March 1968 when he headlined at The Cheetah in Venice Beach.His band; Alexander's Timeless Blooz Band,had a tight horn section and along with Jackie's dancing drove the crowd wild.The females there went crazy during "Higher and Higher". I saw Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Cream,the Stones and The Dead, Genesis and Frampton and other dynamic artists (front row center stuff) in concert but I will never forget his performance that night.
Greatest singer and performer Ive ever seen. If someone were to walk into one of these T.V shows today with this mans talent. The judges wouldnt believe their eyes and ears. You just dont see this kind of talent anymore. Thats why we are hanging onto this mans legacy so tightly. Its precious. I want to start a sight to honor his memory personally. Thats my goal for 2015...
please let me know what i can do to help u reach that goal cause I love Jackie Wilson . may he forever live on in the hearts of all who loves him an his music
+Mr. Volunteer and ar57smith many thanks. Im on a learning curve over the next few months. If I do this it has to be so good it draws a new audience to this mans magic.
What a show!!! I do not know how those people can contain themselves. I would be on my feet dancing my butt off! I love you Jackie you died to soon!!! RIP!
the world is just not the same without jackie wilson, i cant believe how good he actually was, just wish i was old enough to have seen him live and in person. Without my favourite artist and singer of all time! what a talent!!! lol thanks for posting, if you the rest of this show please put it on if poss? cheers.
I love this man just as a I did as a teenager growing up in Toledo, OH. What an incredible entertainer and charismatic personality. He always gave his best and then more. I was most fortunate to be part of an era of the greatest music ever recorded.
Esther Gavillet Jackie died on January 21,1984 not December 21, 1984 & Marvin Gaye died the same year 1984 3 months apart 2 of the best in the field of entertainment 🎶 🎷 🎹 🎸 -September 21, 2019
@PutOnASweater i was only 10 yrs old at the time and I remember my mother was reading the newspaper report about it . She started talking about how he was such a dynamic performer and I remembered seeing some of his albums in her collection.I listened to the album Soul Time and was in awe of the mans talent and have never stopped listening since that day
Never a bad performance 💗💗💗 the band sounds great to me, because that's who JACKIE WILSON was. He didn't give you half done at all. AND JACKIE WILSON NEVER FORGOT WHERE HE CAME FROM BLESS HIS PURE HEART, AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾
thanks for this video clip I watch it over an over, wish I was there, I wish it was me he kissed, he's so handsome. I've read many comments I believe God gave everyone a gift no one is the same I hear every one talk about sam c., jackie w. james b., please lets not forget otis redding, I love him too. yes jackie, sam , sammy jr. they all help pave the way for the other young entertainers in their own way they had a gift an I think they used it well. I love them all they have given us music to
Jackie Wilson, like James Brown, was an amateur boxer, hence, his fabulous dance routines. I also saw Jackie live many times at the Apollo, Brevort Theater in Brooklyn, Alan Freed's shows at the Brooklyn Paramount, and let's not forget the televised Ed Sullivan Show during the 1950's when he showed the white audience and television viewers how very talented he was with his classic dance steps and tenor voice singing "Lonely Teardrops"!
You only have to read the comments posted on here to see how loved Jackie was as a performing artist, he has always been greatly respected on the Northern soul scene in England . Saw Chuck Jackson perform a couple of years back and he paid tribute to Jackie for discovering him and getting him on at the Apollo Theatre, That got an ovation from the audiance. So sad he died penniless in such circumstances, hope he's smiling down now on how we love what he gave us !!! KTF
Ronald Cambell you are so very right now you told / warn these young & up coming singers perhaps they will take heed to what you said the music industry is cut throat / back stabbing & as the group Undisputed Truth song 🎤says Smiling 😊Faces pretend to be your friend
Despite, critical comments on the band, Jackie still does a performance, note thawt he was introduced as Mr. Dynamite! Many think its Mr. Excitement. Jackie RIP always innocently missunderstood.
I had just returned a week before from a year in South Vietnam. I was staying at my Aunt's place in Santa Monica and my cousin...well she idolized Jackie Wilson and dragged my 19 year old butt to the SRO concert. Etta James opened for him. The Cheetah was a smaller venue and we were so close that you could smell Jackie's cologne.
Keith- thanks so much for this fab clip, a rare and very telling performance by the "Great One" - Yes, Mr. Excitement himself... one of my favorites, I belive this was taped in Detroit for a PBS Special!!! Jackie at his finest, Jackie in "ACTION", yes, listening to his LP's/CD's, a real Treat, But watching him in a Live Show is just Spectaculular... Thanks once more, great for all the fans that have only heard or Read about this Talented Superstar, of that time, and still today-TY Marcie*
Could he have sang Lonely Tear Drops any better? Amazing stuff. So powerful, yet very smooth and relaxed. Thumbs up to the 2 comments under mine as well :)
Mr. EXCITEMENT!!! Thanks So Much For Posting Mr. Channer... My dad brought me up on this era of music and would sit me down explaining what GOOD Quality Legit Artist were all about!!! I sang lead for a couple of "Classic Soul Groups" in efforts of keeping REAL Music alive and I tell you, today's music needs a turn around & I won't stop until I have a shot at bring it full circle...
If I had 24 hours to live then I 'd spend it watching Jackie Wilson & Bobby Darin live in concert.. As opposed to the utter shite we have on offer nowadays.
O How i Do Love Jackie Sonny Leroy Wilson He Was 💯 The Man And Still is And i Did Loved His ❤️ Fitted Pants Jackie May Your Soul Rest in Peace And You Are Truly Loved And Missed i Play Your Song's All The Time You Had A Powerful Voice i Love You So Much Love Susie
I've been a Jackie Wilson fan all my life and Michael Jackson fan, but over the years I've been learning how MJ learned and copied everyone from Jackie Wilson, James Brown, The Temptations, The Lockers, Fred Astaire, and he copied dances from black kids in the ghetto, which he admitted. He learned the moonwalk from someone else, and everyone thought he invented it. I'm not knocking MJ, cause he was good, but he couldn't touch Jackie. Jackie was original and creative.
Yeah well I sat in those gas lines back then and if I had a Jackie Wilson 8 track tape I would'nt have minded ! My favorite entertainer of all time and I have seen many greats up close and personal...
He def was the best; the one performer to beat!! But no one ever could!! His son, Bobby, is v talented n keeps this great artist alive!!! Bobby is a natural singer in his own right!! Bless them both! Brought much joy to the world!!!👑👏‼️❤️
My Mom use to Listen to all the old school music and use loved Jackie's. Music i remember she would take me up to 63rd & Halsted to this record Shop she ask me Did it want any thing My 1st 45 was by Blue magic Side show she had a old small record player in those days the early 70's we could put a speaker in the window she would watch up Us from the window as me Brother Little Brother Dennis Jammie Michael myself Jim dance and sing to the J5 Blue magic Stylistics Delfonic mom Would Blow our Hair out in those Days. Dam i Miss Momma's And those things she use to teach us all came true so young ones of today please lister and take the time to listen if there's someone older In the family because one day u will be telling the same Story I'm now 64 years Jim Fedrick and family
Say what you want but, he made something of a a band that was not performing up to his standards. That's quite an undertaking but he did it. That was my idle along with James Brown and the Temptations. All musical geniuses....
Bobby Darin was a HUGE fan of Jackie's. He would often hang out at the Apollo Theater when Jackie performed there. Jackie had a very varied audience...

I’m thinking perhaps all his wonderful foot work was not caught on film. I heard he was also loved by Michael J
He still had it. The voice. The stage presence, the showmanship. RIP JW.
This is exactly why i'm sharing these clips with you the public so that this generation can see just how great this man really was...
THANK YOU
An electrifying performance. He had an immense vocal range, incredible dance moves & of course lots of soul. He poured his heart out to keep his audience thrilled. There will never be another Jackie Wilson.
I dont know how he kept up the energy to continue this concert for these deaf blind people
🤣🤣
What a gifted man and this wasn’t even in the height of his career..... RIP. I could envision him doing gospel in his later years had he lived...still doing the splits and all!🥂💖🎼🎼💖💖🥂
As usual Jackie was pouring his heart out , but the backup band didn't have enough soul .
To me he was probably the most electrifying performer that ever lived he really was on a different level vocally and his stage movement is so intuitive the things he could do with does legs defy gravity.
Mortimer ah
Jackie Wilson
GOT some of his move from his boxing days.
My FAVORITE SINGER OF ALL TIMES.
@@patriciamissie8763 Jackie Wilson is just another Elvis impersonator.
You had to see him perform at the Brooklyn Fox! Every time we left that show we left with sore throat‘s! He made us girls crazy🎶💕🎶
@@mariogmajner6549 He was a soul r&b artist didn't even record elvis songs he didn't have too had his own big hits although i understand they were good friends.
His Voice is like Silk - No one will ever Replace My Jackie Wilson ♥️
Absolutely!
Absolutely that was what made him so great vocally he was a powerhouse yet so smooth and relaxed such an enjoyable way about him and light on his feet such a thrill to watch!
WOW! GOD IS GOOD!THANK U GOD FOR JACKIE WILSON& SAM COOK!I wish I could of met them both!

Jackie Wilson is the most Outstanding Performer that I watch every day and night
His Voice and his Smooth footsteps noone can match
♥️ You J.W.
Great stuff. Had the pleasure of seeing Jackie in 1959, at an Alan Freed show. Still quite vivid. Thanks very much for sharing.
He was so exciting to watch must have seen these clips dozens and dozens of times over and over i don't ever get tired of listening and watching him
Man I watch this video over and over and the joy I feel coming out of Jackie Wilson's performance just makes my heart happy!!! Only the singers of the past can do this to me. The best music died along with entertainers like Jackie.
I'm so grateful for videos like this so that we could still see and hear him perform he is Amazing...
Now he's singing in Heaven 💗💗💗
Great video. If that don't put a smile on your face you need to be woke up. Thanks so much.
That must have been a real treat!! to have the late Etta James and Jackie Wilson on the same bill and she was the opening act what a show that must have been !!! bet u will never forget it

THANKS for posting this!!
You’re welcome Chuck
I went to see him perform at the Platinum in third ward in Houston he was wonderful
I've been a Jackie Wilson fan all my life and Michael Jackson fan, but over the years I've been learning how MJ learned and copied everyone from Jackie Wilson, James Brown, The Temptations, The Lockers, Fred Astaire, and he copied dances from black kids in the ghetto, which he admitted. He learned the moonwalk from someone else, and everyone thought he invented it. I'm not knocking MJ, cause he was good, but he couldn't touch Jackie. Jackie was original and creative.
It breaks my heart to think of how he died
Yeah well I sat in those gas lines back then and if I had a Jackie Wilson 8 track tape I would'nt have minded ! My favorite entertainer of all time and I have seen many greats up close and personal...
He was one cool dude.
JACKIE WILSON WAS THE MAN IN HIS DAY
He is the man in any day. Nobody can touch him.
The moves, the voice, THE BEST !
Love you Jackie!!
The coolest black guy I have ever seen !!!! A gentlman !
FANTASTIC!
Thanx.
they've given us music to enjoy for the rest of our lives so lets enjoy :)
Right on the money, haggis! Jackie Wilson was truly one of a kind! Reet Petite!
He def was the best; the one performer to beat!! But no one ever could!! His son, Bobby, is v talented n keeps this great artist alive!!! Bobby is a natural singer in his own right!! Bless them both! Brought much joy to the world!!!👑👏‼️❤️
such humble surroundings for such a great talent - he should have been as big as Elvis
Blacklights Boxing Blog in my mind he was bigger then Elvis had way more raw talent love jackie
Those Folks in the audience aren't exactly teenagers. They're doing exactly what they feel like doing; sitting & watching.
That's the best way to enjoy a performance.
My Mom use to
Listen to all the old school music and use loved Jackie's. Music i remember she would take me up to 63rd &
Halsted to this record Shop she ask me Did it want any thing
My 1st 45 was by Blue magic
Side show she had a old small record player in those days the early 70's we could put a speaker in the window she would watch up
Us from the window as me
Brother Little
Brother Dennis
Jammie Michael myself
Jim dance and sing to the J5
Blue magic Stylistics Delfonic mom
Would Blow our
Hair out in those
Days. Dam i Miss Momma's
And those things she use to teach us all came true so young ones of today please lister and take the time to listen if there's someone older
In the family because one day u will be telling the same
Story I'm now
64 years Jim
Fedrick and family
Say what you want but, he made something of a a band that was not performing up to his standards. That's quite an undertaking but he did it. That was my idle along with James Brown and the Temptations. All musical geniuses....
Say it again, "Loud"!! Now, let's go to another level, alright!
Let's never forget "Mr. Michael Jackson and Mr. Marvin Gaye" Aman!!! Ronnie P.
Many people close to Bobby Darin told me time and time again how Darin loved and respected the talent of Jackie. -Jimmy Scalia-
Bobby Darin was a HUGE fan of Jackie's. He would often hang out at the Apollo Theater when Jackie performed there. Jackie had a very varied audience...
